NBSV 185: Coach K's strategy sessions vol. 1 — strength training and calculating protein requirements

About once a year, I open my schedule to 30 awesome folks on my email list for free coaching calls. Each person gets a free 20-minute strategy session, where they can chat about whatever they’d like! Creating an effective workout plan, brainstorming vegan meal prep, calculating protein requirements, plotting vegan world domination... anything goes!

Today, I'm sharing two of these calls on the podcast. Listen in as I speak with Linda about strength training and establishing a regular workout routine, and with Raghu about macro ratios and grams, and how those relate to calories.
